14 Weeks

14 weeks officially today (out of 40, so 26 more to go). I still can't feel anything, no movement or official hard belly bump, it's just still bloaty and fatty. Lovin these expando-pants!

Here is the week's development summary:

Your baby is now growing his first hair. Whether it's jet black, cocoa brown, golden blonde or fiery red, curly or straight, will remain a secret until the day he's born. Crown to rump, your baby is around 3 and a half inches / 9 centimetres long and weighs one and a half ounces / 43 grams. The body is now growing faster than the head. About now, the fetus can grasp, squint, frown, and grimace. It may even be able to suck its thumb. Researchers believe these and other movements probably correspond to the development of impulses in the brain.

ISN'T THAT FASCINATING?!?!?
